Built by Indian slaves, this Spanish Colonial building was completed in 1625 and then nearly destroyed during the Pueblo revolt of 1680. In 1710 the Spanish once again took control of Santa Fe and rebuilt the church. Mass is still held in the church every Sunday at 5p. The religious artwork in the building is inspiring, and the bell dates to the early 1300s. There is an audio recording describing the history of the church that is played continuously.
